Chapter 561: The Legend of the Empress of Time

The Ancient Sword rocketed out of the Moonfall Land. The eyes of several Cultivators glinted with greed as they prepared to subdue it.

However, before they could even get close, they were annihilated by its murderous light!

At once, those harboring similar thoughts paled in terror, not daring to make another rash move.

In the end, the Ancient Sword transformed into a brilliant streak of light, soaring straight into the firmament. It tore a hole through the sky and vanished.

As he watched the Ancient Sword disappear, Ye Wushuang’s eyes flickered. ’The Emperor’s Dominating Sword... That’s the supreme weapon of the Emperor’s Domineering Blood. It must have returned to the Celestial Dome.’

This meant he would soon face a peerless nemesis: the true holder of the Emperor’s Domineering Blood!

’A mere wisp of a remnant soul forced me to use all my trump cards. Just how terrifying would someone with the Emperor’s Domineering Blood at their Peak be?’

’Slaughtering a hundred Saints, massacring 100,000 Ancient Cities... That kind of horror is appalling beyond belief!’

The Emperor’s Domineering Blood was a bloodline created by Heaven itself. Since Ye Wushuang had set himself against Heaven, a clash with its champion was inevitable—and it would come soon.

’But so what if I have to face the Emperor’s Domineering Blood? I possess the Heaven and Earth Tyrant Chaos Sky-Devouring Dragon Body—the ultimate hegemon of all creation, the greatest in the Ten Thousand Realms! As long as I forge my Holy Body, I can suppress that bloodline all the same!’

Ye Wushuang’s eyes gleamed with absolute confidence, his heart swelling with heroic ambition.

’I’ve seen how terrifying the Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon is. It spanned the cosmos and roamed across all heavens. That is the true number one physique of all time!’

Treasure Body!

Holy Body!

Chaos Body!

The First Generation Chaos Sky-Devouring Dragon Body!

’Once I forge the First Generation Body, I too will possess the greatest physique in all of history!’

His gaze shifted to the corpse of the one who’d possessed the Emperor’s Domineering Blood. Under the erosion of the Power of Time, its vast, surging vitality was being steadily worn away.

’Even after eons, the Power of Time still hasn’t completely eroded this body. The Emperor’s Domineering Blood is truly potent. If I refine it, I might be able to use its power to advance my Cultivation.’

’Better yet, if I offer it as a sacrifice on the Chaos Altar, I could gain the power to kill a Nirvana Great Power who has surpassed the Divine Silence Level. That would be an excellent trump card!’

Ye Wushuang’s eyes narrowed. With a single gesture, he pulled the corpse into his Chaos Space and suppressed it.

He then turned to look at Elder Yue.

Standing in the depths of the area, Elder Yue was shrouded in a silver radiance, completely unharmed by the Power of Time.

This was a testament to Elder Yue’s terrifying power!

’Wait a minute...’

Suddenly, Ye Wushuang realized something—the Power of Time wasn’t harming him at all either.

"Hee hee!"

The giggle reached Ye Wushuang’s ears, and he saw Xiaoxiao running toward him.

"Big Brother, that pendant can help you resist the Power of Time!"

Xiaoxiao ran to Ye Wushuang’s side and pointed at a moon-shaped pendant on his waist.

This was the Time Pendant.

Xiaoxiao had secretly hung it on him when he was holding her earlier.

It was the Time Pendant that had brought Xiaoxiao to this place.

Not only that, but new information had also appeared in her mind—information about the pendant and the Forbidden Power of the Moonfall Land.

That power didn’t harm her, which was why she was perfectly fine even without the Time Pendant.

This astonished Ye Wushuang, making him even more certain that there was more to Xiaoxiao than met the eye.

"Young friend!"

Elder Yue strode through the air, landing in front of Ye Wushuang.

Ye Wushuang stared at Elder Yue, his expression grave. The man was the Clan Leader of the Lost Clan, and his Cultivation was astronomical. If he wanted to kill him, it would be effortless.

"There is no need to be on your guard, young friend. We are friends, not enemies."

Elder Yue said calmly, removing his hood to reveal his true face. He was a silver-haired elder with a ruddy complexion, and his appearance alone gave him the transcendent air of an immortal.

"Senior," Ye Wushuang asked, frowning, "you said before that this place held something important for me and for her. What is it?"

He felt that the Moonfall Land concealed many secrets, especially the Crystal Palace, which exuded an aura of mystery.

’The wielder of the Emperor’s Domineering Blood, a ruthless man created by Heaven who slaughtered a hundred Saints, was impaled and killed just outside its gates. What kind of earth-shattering secret could be hidden within?’

"You are quite curious about the Crystal Palace, aren’t you, young friend?"

Elder Yue noticed Ye Wushuang’s confusion and smiled faintly.

"Do you know something, Senior?"

Ye Wushuang stared at Elder Yue, his expression calm. ’With his level of power, if he wanted to kill me, he would have done it already instead of wasting time on conversation.’

Besides, the elder had shown him nothing but goodwill. Reassured, Ye Wushuang put away the Ancient Battle Spear.

’One of my reasons for coming to the Moonfall Land was to find the Moon God Flower, but I haven’t found any trace of it. Perhaps Elder Yue knows something.’

"To tell the truth, this whole affair involves many things... including you, young friend."

Elder Yue glanced at Ye Wushuang before his gaze drifted toward the firmament.

Ye Wushuang was curious but didn’t interrupt, choosing instead to listen patiently.

"This story begins in the Ancient Era, with Heaven’s cataclysm. I can no longer recall which one it was."

"Everyone in the Grand Emperor Domain—whether they were the Original People, guests from the Star Universe, or immigrants from other Celestial Domains—would have to endure a cataclysmic tribulation as long as they resided here."

"With each cataclysm, Saint Sages would fall, their Dao Fruits would be shattered, and their legacies erased. The blood of living beings would stain the earth, pushing them to the brink of extinction. Consequently, the Cultivators of the Grand Emperor Domain grew progressively weaker. The surviving Saint Sages were filled with resentment and grew deeply dissatisfied with Heaven."

"However, none of them dared to harbor a single thought of resistance. Even the Empress of Time, who resided in the Double Moon Celestial Palace and wielded the forbidden Power of Time, did not dare provoke Heaven."

"No one knew where the Empress of Time came from. When she appeared in the Grand Emperor Domain, she made the two moons her palace and took up residence there. She achieved her Dao through the Power of Time. Her imperial grace was peerless, her elegance unmatched throughout the Nine Heavens Domain. Even Saint Sages had to respectfully address her as ’Empress’!"

"But at the time, Heaven was too powerful; it possessed the Grand Emperor Celestial Origin, and even the Empress of Time was no match for it. Of course, Heaven didn’t dare to provoke the Empress either, so the two sides remained at a stalemate."

"But one day, a man arrived from the Divine Land of the Azure Celestial Domain. He was none other than the one revered throughout the Nine Heavens Domain, the Inheritor of the Huaxia Ancestor Dragon Bloodline—the Emperor!"

"The Emperor appeared in the Grand Emperor Domain, paid a visit to the Double Moon Celestial Palace, and spoke with the Empress of Time. Then, for some unknown reason, he departed."

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang’s eyes narrowed.

’The Emperor... he came to the Grand Emperor Domain, met the Empress of Time, and they spoke about something.’

’This Emperor is so mysterious!’

’The Dragon Cat told me before that I have the Emperor’s bloodline. Does that mean I’m his relative?’

’If that’s the case, then my appearance in the Grand Emperor Domain probably wasn’t a matter of being abandoned at all!’

The more he thought, the more convoluted the situation seemed. He immediately asked, "Senior, do you know what they discussed?"

"I don’t know what they said either. However, from that day on, the Empress of Time had a change of heart. She suddenly decided to wage war on Heaven. She strode out of the Double Moon Celestial Palace, personally severed one of the moons from the sky, and through Refinement, turned it into a pendant. She then cast it down into the Profound North Realm of the Grand Emperor Domain."

"That is the story behind the fallen moon. To this day, no one understands why the Empress of Time did it."

"Right after, here in this very place, she slew the Destructive Doomsday Judge—the wielder of the Emperor’s Domineering Blood—and disrupted Heaven’s plan for its cataclysm."

"Heaven was instantly enraged. It descended upon the world, preparing to kill the Empress of Time. In the midst of the great war, the first Great Emperor of the Grand Emperor Domain, Dijun, suddenly joined the fray. He used the supreme Earth-Shattering Artifact, the Donghuang Bell, in concert with the Empress of Time’s Power of Time to grievously wound Heaven and force it into a deep slumber!"

Ye Wushuang was stunned. ’The Empress of Time and Dijun... they actually managed to grievously wound Heaven!’

’Previously, when King Yama destroyed the Celestial Avatar, it mentioned that Heaven was slumbering. Was this the reason why?’
